MEET THE COACH: Trick Danneker, Pretty Boys

Trick was the Champion of the Inaugural Seattle Blue Ribbon League season, and is one of only three coaches to make the playoffs in both seasons.

Ladies and Gentlemen (mostly ladies), I present Trick Danneker.

1.  Give us a few thoughts on your season thus far: 

Disappointing to say the least.  I am not getting the scoring out of the guys I thought would score.  Losing TE Dallas Clark a few weeks ago was a hit for sure, but we're still working towards the playoffs.

2.  Anything you would change about your strategy coming into the season? 

I guess if I had to do it all over again I'd have picked RBs at random instead of doing research.  Those so called "experts" were full of shit.  

3.  Who is your favorite team/coach to beat?  Why? 

I like to play against the Soup Can, but I've never beaten coach Bell so I can't say that.  The couple of times I beat Harber and the Felons were fun, but those days are long gone too.  I guess I'll say Fluffernutter, because I know he hates it when I win.

4.  Which team/coach is your least favorite to face?  Why? 

I hate facing Cam and Eddie Royale w/Cheese because he's so particular with his players.  He seems to always pick the right guys for that week's matchup.

5.  You are one of only 3 coaches to make the post-season all three years (with Cam and Bell)...what are the chances you make it this year?  What will have to change? 

I'd say I have a 33% chance of pulling it off.  I don't know what the numbers are, I don't really get into that, but I think I'll have to win out to have a shot.  If I lose again, it's over.  I'm going to need solid performances from my RBs and Flacco to get his head out of his ass and pass the ball down field instead of dumping it off to Ray Rice and Todd Heap over and over.

6.  Favorite memory of the league? 

Antoine Winfield scoring 26 points on Monday Night Football in 2008 to lead the Soup Can (and the Vikings) to a last minute, edge-out win over the Freemasons.  Didn't affect me in any way, I just love those kind of unexpected comebacks.  Plus the Vikes won that week.

7. What is your favorite fantasy football word? 

Go-to (as in go-to guy)

8. What is your least favorite fantasy football word?  

Questionable

9. What turns you on, in fantasy football?

Multiple TDs

10. What turns you off in fantasy football? 

Tight ends with QBs who don't pass to tight ends

11. What is your favorite curse word?  How do you use it in Fantasy Football? 

Shit-monger (as in "Give Cedric Benson the ball you shit-monger.")

12. What team, other than yours, would you like to attempt to coach? 

The Counselor.  The talent there is just below the surface.

13. What team would you not like to coach? 

The Manti.  Is "Manti" even a word?

14. If heaven exists and God plays fantasy football, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates? 

"I traded for Shonn Greene too... Who knew?"

15.  You have received many accolades for your acting ability (Golden Masks, Gregory Nominatioins), are these a result of your Fantasy football coaching prowess? 

I believe Fantasy Football helped me to better analyze specific talent and decide which Trick Danneker to play for certain performances and auditions.  I don't always get it right, but sometimes I play the right guy in the right audition and I actually get the part.  Usually, though, I'm wrong.  I think my win-loss record and my recent casting history have proven that.
